H•A•M
Jay-Z & Kanye West feat. Frank Ocean & The-Dream Lyrics

It was all good just a week ago
Things were fine just recently, but now things have changed.

Niggas feel they selves
People are getting arrogant.

And they watch the throne drop
They are watching as their power and influence diminishes.

Niggas kill themselves
They are bringing about their own downfall due to their arrogance and foolish actions.

This a new crack on a new stove
This is a new high or a new level of success.

I'm in the two-door, true that
I'm driving a two-seater car, that's true.

Niggas telling me you back
People are saying that you are back and relevant again.

Like a nigga ever left up out this bitch huh?
As if I ever disappeared from the scene, right?

And if life's a bitch then suck my dick huh?
If life is hard or difficult, then deal with it and don't complain to me.

And I bet she fucked the whole clique huh?
I bet this girl has had sex with all of us, right?

By the way nigga you should fucking quit nigga
By the way, you should give up or quit, man.

Just forget it, you talk it, I live it
You just talk about it, I actually do it.

Like Eli, I did it
Like the football player Eli Manning, I did it and made it happen.

Joke's on you motherfucker, I get it
You thought you had the upper hand, but I actually have the advantage.

No paper hoe but you can have some more of me
I don't have money to give, but I can offer more of myself to you.

Or-a-gy or are we speaking metaphorically?
Are we actually talking about an orgy or is this just a metaphor?

Historically I'm kicking bitches out like Pam, nigga
In the past, I have been successful in removing unwanted women from my life like Pam from the TV show Martin.

Doing H•A•M nigga, me and Jigga
We are doing H•A•M or going all out, me and Jay-Z.

And a nigga still young, wanna have no kids
I am still young and don't want to have kids yet.

But I've been practicing with some actresses as bad as shit
I have been having sex with some beautiful actresses to prepare for a family.

Had a few white girls, asses flat as shit
I have had sex with some white girls with flat butts.

But the head's so good, damn a nigga's glad he hit
Despite their lack of a good butt, they performed oral sex so well that I was satisfied.

Got 'em jumping out the building, watch out below
I have such an impact on these girls that they would jump out of a building for me.

A million out the door
I made a million dollars quickly and easily.

Fuck y'all mad at me for?
Why are you all angry with me?

Y'all don't even know what I've been through
You don't even know the hardships and struggles I've experienced.

I played chicken with a Mack truck
I took huge risks and put myself in danger.

Y'all muthafuckas would've been moved
You would have backed down and been scared if you were in my position.

I swam waters with Great Whites
I dealt with serious dangers and obstacles.

Y'all muthafuckas would've been chewed
You would have been eaten or destroyed if you were in my position.

I hustled with vultures late nights
I made money in difficult and dangerous situations.

Y'all muthafuckas would've been food
You would have been taken advantage of or eaten if you were in my position.

Fuck is wrong with these dudes?
What is wrong with these guys?

Try to walk around in these shoes
Try to experience what I have been through and see how you would handle it.

See the shit I saw growing up
See the difficult and traumatic things I experienced as a child.

Then maybe you could take a peek at these, boo
Then maybe you would understand my perspective and struggles, my dear.

Niggas fantasize about the shit that I do daily
People fantasize about the things I do every day.

Like, these rappers rap about
They make music about the same things I actually do.

All the shit that I do - really!
All the things they rap about, I actually do in real life.

I'm like really half a billion nigga
I'm actually worth over $500 million, man.

Really, you got baby money
Your money is nothing compared to mine.

Keep it real with niggas
Be honest and genuine with people like me.

Niggas ain't got my lady's money!
No one has as much money as my wife, Beyoncé.

Watch the throne: no steppin' on it, bro!
Be careful and respectful of my power and status, my friend!

Bad enough to let you step in the club
I'm generous enough to let you enter my club or my world.

With my nephew die, daddy dead
My nephew died and my father passed away recently.

Nigga took the price on my uncle's head
Someone put a bounty on my uncle's life.

Nobody called the cops as my uncle bled
No one reported the crime or tried to help my uncle when he was bleeding to death.

So I feel like I would like to know my uncle's bread
I want to know what my uncle's money or wealth was, since his death was so tragic.

Bow down, brotha pay homage
Respect me and give me the respect I deserve, brother.

Don't spill hate all on my garments
Don't bring negativity or hate to my clothing or my image.

Comme des Garcons, fuck yo' fresh
I wear designer brand Comme des Garcons, fuck your trendy or fashionable clothes.

Headshots nigga, fuck your vest
I will shoot you in the head, I don't care about your bulletproof vest.

Fuck the pigs, don't talk to the law
I don't like the police, don't talk to the authorities.

Peace God, 'cause you know a nigga gets
Peace to you, my friend, because you know how violent and crazy I can be.

H•A•M
Going all out and being aggressive or powerful.
